Greatest Hits Radio (Peterborough)

Greatest Hits Radio Peterborough is a regional classic-hits service whose radio history includes the Rutland Radio name. The current edition brings Bauer's network programme to listeners associated with Peterborough, while that earlier identity reflects a different stage of the service's development.

The music centres on familiar songs from the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s. The selection spans popular styles across those years, with remembered performances and choruses supplying a recognisable oldies character. Presented shows provide entertainment around the music.

The shared schedule includes Ken Bruce's PopMaster and Golden Years, alongside guest contributions to his programme. Zoe Ball takes Lunchtime Anthem requests and presents 54321 in the afternoon. Simon Mayo's drivetime mixes music with Confessions, while All Request Friday places the selection of songs in listeners' hands. These shows form part of the network entertainment carried by the Peterborough edition.

Great Conversations with Jackie Brambles puts guest interviews alongside familiar music, with artists such as Gabrielle and Mike Rutherford featured. Jenny Powell brings together The Mixtape at weekends, and Des Paul presents soul, funk and disco in Rhythm Of The Night. Stephanie Hirst's Spinnin' The Decades turns to her personal vinyl library for rarities and requests played live from original 45s.

The broadcaster's fuller regional title includes Peterborough, Stamford and Rutland, preserving a wider catchment than Peterborough alone. Its reporting has followed proposals affecting Rutland's local-government structure, road safety on the A47 and town-centre funding debates in neighbouring South Holland. That range helps explain the continuing Rutland Radio connection alongside the current Peterborough identity.
